Bio

As a sophomore: Became one of the Bulldogs' Saturday starters, appearing in 13 games with 12 starts ... He went 6-6 with a 2.70 ERA over 73.1 innings ... He matched Peter Kelich with four complete games ... Struck out 55 and walked just 20 on the season ...

After opening the season with three tough starts, Schlitter four runs or less in each of his last 10 starts ... Picked up his first win of the season against Mount St. Mary's (Mar. 17), allowing two runs on three hits over seven innings ... Followed that with a complete game victory over Maine (Mar. 24), allowing one run on four hits with five strikeouts ... Had his best start of his career against Cent. Connecticut on Apr. 6, allowing just two baserunners in a complete-game shutout of the Blue Devils ... He allowed a leadoff triple and fielder's choice before setting down the final 19 batters ... That started a string of three consecutive league victories ... He shut down Quinnipiac (May 20) on four hits over seven innings ... Finished the season with six innings of one-run ball vs. Wagner (May 12) ... He struck out five and didn't walk a batter.

As a freshman: Jumped right into the Bulldogs rotation as a freshman, appearing in 14 games, making 11 starts ... He finished with a 2-2 record, a save and a 4.50 ERA in 48.0 innings ...
